Patriotic Fourth of July Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream
Ingredients
Cupcakes
1 box of White Cake Mix ( I like Betty Crocker White Super Moist)
11/4 cup water
1/3 cup of oil
3 eggs
Strawberries
Blueberries
Frosting
2 boxes of confectioners sugar
2 sticks of softened butter
2 tsp. vanilla
For cupcakes: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 muffin tins with cupcake liners. In a large mixing bowl, beat cake mix, water, eggs & oil on low for 30 seconds, then medium for two minutes. Pour cupcake mix into cupcake liners until each is 2/3 full. Bake for 18-24 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting!
For frosting: Beat together softened butter, confectioners sugar and vanilla until creamy & smooth. I use a large pastry bag and large frosting tip seen below. Fill bag with frosting and frost away. To get the fancy high top. Start with frosting tip on outer edge of cupcake and frost in a counterclockwise motion all the way around cupcake several times working your way towards the center.
Top with fresh strawberries & blueberries!
